ut2004 is a different game altogeather,im not really a noob but not a great player so it has made it fun to just go into a game and have fun spamming or running over peeps i think thats what epic have locked onto with it, the noob factor and they will make a killing out of it. theres a hell of alot of what you guys call noobs "you say it like its an insult, but they are just guys that prob dont play that often or really dont take the game that serious enough to spend hours and hours trying to do wall jumps" who just want the odd quick game after work and couldnt be fucked mastering every aspect of the game. as soon as epic released the fact they were putting vheacles in it i knew it was going to take the" leetness" as you call it out of the game. ut2003, and ill get flamed for this, i think slowly died because of the skill factor needed. peeps that i have talked to have said they dont play it because they jump in for the first time and get there asses flogged, so they keep it up for a week and and after a whole week

of getting nowhere "getting head shot 3 times in a row from god knows where, they give up" they dont relise that the guys that are flogging the shit outta them again and again night after night have been playing the game since the biggining of time. they get the shits because thease guys called "kaos,fear,ext " slaughter them every time they get in, then call them noobs and leave. if they would just stick with it for a little longer but in there eyes it seems hopless when you play someone like sicks or lawsy and they dont even get to score one point. so for thease noobs this is a great game, apply within not much skill at all needed, just have fun.
i think that when the full game is released you will get some of your game leetness. the game servers are chokka and yes its a spam fest but the dm map is small and the "noobs will soon get sick of it and stick to ons"also as you said there will be insta, thank god. and the larger maps will make it harder to spam. and you notice that br and ctf are empty most of the time "the br map sucks and ctf takes some time to master so the noobs wont play it"
and as wakko said ons is a hell of alot harder with less players, i tryed the 24 player server and now i stick to the 12 "with the 12 if you dont act as a team your fucked if the others do.
well to tell the truth half way through i forgot what the fuck this post topic was "i just started rambelling" i saw noob noob noob and though every game need a constant flow of noobs to survive 1 out of every 10 noobs may just stick with it so next time you see a noob help him out and make the game enjoyable even while your kicking the shit out of him i love ut2003 and ut2004 "they are the same but different" i think they tryed to make it a game for everyone, the hardcore gamer and the noob
so start flamming me guys

p.s whats with the, dis,dat,fook "are you guys black newyorkers or somthing"
